{Passeth away} (katargoumenon). In process of disappearing
before the gospel of Christ. {Remaineth} (menon). The new
ministry is permanent. This claim may be recommended to those who
clamour for a new religion. Christianity is still alive and is
not dying. Note also en dox(8869), in glory, in contrast with dia
dox(8873), with glory. {Boldness} (parr(8873)i(8369)). Instrumental case
after chr(936d)etha. Old word, panr(8873)is=parr(8873)is, telling it all,
absolute unreservedness. Surely Paul has kept nothing back here,
no mental reservations, in this triumphant claim of superiority.
